After the IRA march in Liverpool been attacked and stopped yesterday, I've noticed so many messages of support on supposed Anti-fascist and left-wing websites with Liverpool Antifa turning out to support the IRA and stuff.
Why?
How can a group of so called "Anti-fascists" and left-wingers who supposedly oppose the right-wing, fascism, nationalism, racism and intollerance show support for a group of right-wing fascists, nationalists, racists and intollerant bigots?
I find it baffling. How can supposedly intelligent people support a terrorist group who have murdered countless innocent people and brought misery to so many peoples lives?
I understand why some might support the IRA's goals, but even that is misguided in my opinion. The Northern Irish who are happy been a part of the United Kingdom outnumber the Repulican's so why should Northern Ireland be give to the Republic of Ireland when the majority don't want it? The greatest good for the greatest number and all that, the majority want to remain in the UK so what gives the IRA the right to try and force Irish rule on people who don't want it?
And why do the left support a group intending on doing just that. It would be different if the British truly were occupying a nation who doesn't want British rule but that isn't the case at all.
It's baffling and pretty disgusting to be honest, that a group of supposed open-minded, intelligent people who oppose racism and fascism can actually support a terrorist organisation who have murdered children, killed people because of their religion, try to force their viewpoints on others, dished out brutal punishments to people for petty crimes etc, pretty much done everything the left is supposed to oppose.
So, I'm sure there's some "anti-fascists" here so I ask, why do you support the IRA?How can you support an organisation who has murdered so many innocent people purely out of nationalism, hatred and religion?
